Google will be changing it's logo to something Freddie related on his birthday. I believe this will happen at all google website trhoughout the world. So far it's up already on Australia's and New Zealand's websites:

A fine tribute to the true King of Rock 'n' Roll - suck on that Elvis Presley and *pauses to spew* Michael Jackson *shudders*. Quick question though: WHY IN THE NAME OF BRIAN'S HAIR would they pick the Don't Stop Me Now video?!? Queen HAVE other songs, you know - hell, they have other HITS!
I, for one, am getting sick and tired of DSMN being the only Queen song people have ever heard of. I'm willing to bet that if you ask the average person to name 5 Queen songs, they'll struggle after DSMN and WWRY. And despite its video, IWTBF is waning in popularity - sadly, it didn't reach no.1 like a recent campiagn wanted. Or least I think it didn't, I'll have to thoroughly check.

First, take some valium. Second, DSMN is a far more original choice than, for instance, Boh Rhap, Champions, Love of My Life or Somebody To Love would have been. Some people (note that I mean you) will always find something to nag about. If you assert that "DSMN [is] the only Queen song people have ever heard of", I can only ask what it is you are smoking.

LOL, pretty much what I was going to say until I saw this post Thomas :)
To the Americans:
"Our doodle celebrating Freddie's birthday can be seen around the world on September 5 and, out of respect for Labor Day, in the U.S. on September 6". link
I live in Norway though, and we got it! ...but you'll get it tomorrow.
hi, if someone could upload the doodle here, it would be much appreciated.
i am at the pffice and the doodle does not load here :-(
if i miss it, atleast would be abl;e to download it here tomorrow.
^ I found that kind of interesting, and wondered what it meant. I know comparatively little about the history of Labour unions in the US. It was of course Labour day elsewhere in the world, and Labour Day is certainly a big deal here as well, so was it down to the comparative power of unions in the US and the unwillingness to risk offending them? Something more like the general tendency of America to look inward rather than outward? Perhaps too there are specific sensitivities right now because of the jobs situation overall and the hotly controversial goings on in Wisconsin relating to public sector unions. Anyway, it was a cool Doodle and a well deserved one. Hope Americans enjoy it today.
